Members Lt. Aldo Raine Posted October 21, 2022 Members Share Posted October 21, 2022 The opening it up to the membership vote is a game changer for Boris if he decides to run. If he can muster up the support of 100 MPs and take it to a vote of the members I think he probably wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many Tory MPs would resign the whip, and vote in no confidence. Boris's problem is not 100 backing him. Its if 36 or more would vote no confidence.

When the dust settles, I suspect she may take solace from knowing that she will be mentioned in political discussions and likely pub quiz questions for a very, very long time. Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me. Now then, more seriously. We (as in the blue 'we') need a cleanskin leader to steady the ship, restore a modicum of respectability and right a few (perceived) wrongs before January 2025. Boris (sadly) too many skeletons in the cupboard - a (possibly undeserved) stained option; Sunak the backstabber - I would be shocked; Braverman seems to lack statesmanlike qualities with her profane outbursts. For me it would have to be Mordaunt or Wallace. Hoping for Penny as I have my 'new Maggie' speech already drafted. I was unaware until today was that the 45% tax rate for high earners being lowered to 40% would have been in line with what Labour darling Tony Bliar had in place for the entirety of his tenure. Starmer could have claimed that she was copying Labour policies! A good policy which would have keep wealth creators where we want them. In the UK. The issue with this policy was Truss was going to borrow money to fund it. Folk on 1 million getting a 50k sweetener funded by government borrowing all during a financial crisis for normal folk.

Johnson is probably the only Tory who could drag them back from the election abyss and given that the Tory party for all there UK comes first bluster really are just looking after themselves at this time, it’s likely he’ll get the gig. Fuck knows how this ends up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Is this vote going to party members again or Tory mps? Either way I can’t see past Johnson winning it. Edited October 21, 2022 by Mounts Kipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved by millions for his English eccentricity and his battling qualities when it matters (whether he truly believes in something or sees it has a conduit for political success). It won't be him though. A shame they got rid in the first place. We don't all swallow the guff fed to us by the UK left leaning mainstream media. He is a burning skipfire of a human being who only thinks of himself. The best selling print media in the UK are all right wing. The most followed political commentators in Laura K and Andrew Neil are considered to have tory bias and both are/were working for the BBC. So called left leaning UK mainstream media is a myth.

But if there are two or more candidates with the support of 100 MPs or more then, yes. Boris has no possibility of winning a straight up vote of Tory MPs but if he can force it through to a vote of the membership I think he would be in a strong position.

Sweep Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Those on "the left" always claim the media is right leaning, those on "the right" always claim the media is left leaning - those who use terms like "main stream media" are usually bell-ends.

Even if the Today programme is overestimating, imagine (by way of example): Boris - 120 Rishi - 90 Mourdant - 90 Wallace - 30 Other - 27 No need for a membership vote. Boris wins by default.
